Machine overview

By

LIDL’s Parkside Bandsaw is a small and extremely affordable benchtop bandsaw. It is probably the cheapest bandsaw available on the market right now (in Europe), and is surprisingly still quite usable.

It is actually a rebrand of a Scheppach bandsaw, but even more barebones to make it available at such a low price.

Machine Atlas Verdict

Considering the price, it's a surprisingly decent saw. But anyone doing more than basic DIY tasks should probably look for a more capable machine.

  1. Hi, wondering what is the max width of blade the parkside 350 bandsaw can receive…. would you recommend a good ripping and a good detailing blade…is TPI a factor i should take into consideration

    Clive Oldfield
    • Hi Clive, the Parkside 350 can take maximum 12 mm wide blades (just under 1/2 inch). Tuffsaws has some great pages for picking the right blade. You can also email Ian from Tuffsaws directly for specific advice.

      TPI determines the finish quality (more TPI = better finish generally) and speed (less TPI = better fast ripping). Do note that the fastest ripping blades only work for very thick pieces of stock, due the minimum thickness required. In the link above you can see a table with the depths each TPI will be able to cut.

      Hope that helps!

  2. Hi I purchased my Saw 0317155 in January 21. I put it away until the better weather was with us, I opened it on 4/6/21 to find no instructions to assume the saw and all small parts loose within the box. I hope you can assist me by telling how many parts there should be and a copy of the manual, I do believe I have a
    2 year warranty with this item.Hoping you can advise me.

  3. Bought one of these for model making, I’m a relative newcomer to using power tools for wood working.
    I’m astounded at the accuracy I can achieve with this saw, I do realize it has it’s limitations but for me it’s one time the best buys I’ve ever made.

    The manual for this saw is available at Lidl-Service.com
    or this link should take you directly to the manual in PDF format.

  4. Hi. I’ve had one of these for a year now but getting random blade breaks. As in, it could last 500 cuts or 10 before breaking. Think I’ve spent more on blades than I did on the saw now.

  5. Hi everyone. is there a way to correct the bandsaw from wandering. what I mean is that the bandsaw is not cutting strait.
    This has just started wandering.
    Thank you.
